No ridiculous yarn about the United
states has yet been invented that will
not find publicity and credence in Eng
land. Here, for Instance, is The Ion
don Court Journal" which says that at
a dinner recently given by young
American millionaire, after the host
had displayed immense sums of bank
notes and many costly gems, "he gave
his leg smart tap with knife, when
it emitted sweet, soft. ringing tone,
which fell pleasantly on the ear and
and said: That. my friends, is made of
virgin California gold, and the garter is
.of diamonds of the first water They
verified the fact as he rolled up his
trousers"

SCRATCHED 28 YEARS.
A Scaly, Itching, Skin Disease with Endless
Suffering Cured by Cuticura Remedies.

IF had known the Cuticura Remedies tweRty-
i eight years ago it would have saved me 500, COO
1.-TWO hundred thousand dOllarsl and an immense
amount of suffering. My disease (Psoriasis) COM
menced on my head in spot not larger than cent;
IT spread rapidly all over my body and got under my
nails; the scales would drop off of me all the time,
and my suffering endless, and without relief;
one thousand dollars would not tempt me to have
this disease again. am poor man, but feel rich to
be relieved of what some OF the dobtors said was
leprosy, some ring-w worm, Psoriasis ETC.. took.
and. .sarsaparillas over one year and half, but
cure; went to two three doctors and no cure;
cannot praise the Cuticura Remedies too much;
they have made my skin clear and free from scales
as baby's; all used of them was three boxes of
Cuticura and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,
and two cakes of Cuticura Soap; if you had been
here and said you would have cured me for 500 900
you would have had the money; looked like the
picture in your book of Psoriasis (picture number
2, How to Cure Skin Diseases }, but now am as
clear as any person ever was through force OF habit
rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch
once In while, but to no purpose; am all well;
scratched twenty eight years. and 1t got to be kind
of second nature to me; l thank you a thousand
times; anything more that you want to know write
me, or any one who reads this may write to me and
will answer it. DENNIS DOWNING.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of sutfocation while
lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and
undisturbed; to rise refreshed head clear brain
tive and free from pain or ache; to know that no
poisonous putrid matter defes the breath and rots
away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and
hearing; to feel that the system does not through
its veins and arteries suck up the poison that is
sure te undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing
beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase
immunity from such fate should be the object of
all afflicted but those who have tried many RENE
dies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

one is to he blamed for the coming revo-
luton it Is the ruling class who steadily
refused to make concessions AS reforms
became necessary; who maintain that
they can call hat to progress, and die
tate n standstill to the eternal forces, of
which they themselves are buta whimsi-
cal creation.
The position generally taken in this
case is that we are morally responsible
for the police riot on May 4th. Four or
five years ago sat in this very court
room as witness. The workingmen
had been trying To obtain redress in a
lawful manner. They had voted, and
among others had elected their Alder
manic candidate from the Fourteenth
Ward. But the street car company did
not like that man, And two of the three
election judges of one precinct knowing
this, took the ballot box to their home
and corrected the election returns, SO
rs TO cheat the constituents of the elected
candidate of their rightiul representa-
tive, and give the representation to the
benevolent street car monopoly. The
The workingmen spent ~ 800 in the
prosecution of the perpetrators of this
crime. The proof against them was so
overwhelming that they confessed hav-
ing falsiiicd the returns and forged the
official documents Judge Gardner, who
was presiding in this court, acquitted
them, stating that ''that act had appar
entity not been prompted by criminal
intent" O | will make no comment.
But when we approach the field of moral
responsibility. it has an immense scope !!
Every man who has in the past assisted
IN thwarting the efforts of those seeking
reform is responsible for the existence of
the revolutionists in this city to-day !,
| Those, however, who have sought to
bring about reforms must be exempted
from this responsibility-and to these |
belong.
If the verdict is based upon the as
sumption of moral responsibility, your
honor, give this as a reason why sent
ence should not be passed.
